Today Is Tuesday (MyLot Exclusive #987)

Tweet

Today is Tuesday, you know what that means? We're gonna have a special guest. So get out the broom, sweep the place clean. And dust off the mat so the "Welcome" can be seen. Roll out the carpet, strike up the band. And give out with a "Hip-hooray" (Hip-hooray!). Wiggle your ears like good...Hold it. Stop the music. Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been handed a bulletin. It seems that at 10:03 AM, this morning, Eastern Standard Time, our special guest ran out of gas on the New York State Thruway, somewhere between Farmington and Henrietta. It goes on to say that there were no injuries or mechanical damage and she is currently negotiating with 14 banks in the hopes of getting a loan large enough to buy a tank of gas. I'm sure she'll prevail in that endeavor and soon...Wait. I've just been handed a memo from my Bookie, Shifty, The Norwegian. It says, and I quote, "The odds of that dame making it here on time are the same as the odds that Satan will need ice skates tonight. Only worse." End quote. Don't panic. We extensively studied how to deal with show-threatening contingencies like this in Blogger School and I remember some of it. Everything is going to be fine. So, just relax, already. Brush off your new dress, straighten your tie. And give out with a "Hip-hooray" (Hip-hooray!). We aren't going to crash. I think.
